International Terrestrial Reference Frame (ITRF)<br />

In the Surveying terminology, a reference frame is a set<br />

of points with their coordinates which realize an ideal<br />

reference system<br />

The International Earth Rotation Service (IERS) mission<br />

is<br />

to<br />

provide<br />

internationally<br />

accepted<br />

terrestrial<br />

reference systems<br />

ITRF is produced by IERS<br />

The ITRF is realized through the global Cartesian coordinates<br />

and linear velocities of a global set of sites equipped with<br />

various space geodetic observing systems.<br />

The space geodetic techniques used at present are LLR, SLR,<br />

VLBI, GPS, and DORIS (Doppler Orbitography and Radio-<br />

positioning Integrated by Satellite, is a French precision<br />

navigation system)<br />
